An ant walks feet 9 3/4 feet in 3/4

minute. The distance in feet the ant walks is directly proportional to the time in minutes the
ant walks.
What is the constant of proportionality that relates the distance in feet the ant walks to the time in minutes it takes
the ant to walk that distance?

17. a researcher measures three variables, x, y, and z for each individual in a sample of n = 20. the pearson correlations for this sample are rxy = 0.6, rxz = 0.4, and ryz = 0.7. a. find the partial correlation between x and y, holding z constant. b. find the partial correlation between x and z, holding y constant. (hint: simply switch the labels for the variables y and z to correspond with the labels in the equation.) gravetter, frederick j. statistics for the behavioral sciences (p. 526). cengage learning. kindle edition.
